I have had mine for about 10 days. Overall I like the machine for my purposes. The battery lasts about 2 1/2 hours, the screen is awesome, not a bit of problems connecting with the internet. I also have used my Verizon modem on the machine and it works just fine. I use Outlook 2003 and Open Office on it without any problems. Except for the battery life, I really like the machine. Since the price for this model has dropped to $349 I think it is a steal. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
